Power Rangers - PINK & YELLOW LEGACY FIGURES!

It's great how the Power Rangers are back in such a big way this year. I can't think of a time when they didn't have a presence in the toy aisles, but right now it's kind of insane. This of course is due to all the movie merchandise. The Power Rangers film hits theatres here in the US in three short weeks and it looks to be a pretty fun interpretation of the classic MMPR. I don't know if I'll get a chance to see it before home release, but I'm going to try. I expected these 6" Legacy figures to see a wide release, so I was really surprised to see them at TRU with an "Only at Toys R Us" sticker on them. Honestly though, that exclusivity is what made me pick them up. I had made up my mind to not be a completist with the movie lines, but apparently a little sticker and a pretty figure is enough to weaken my resolve. (I've been doing this on a weekly basis lately). But I must admit I love having these figures lined up in all their available scales (still need the 2" ones though!) Let's check out the Legacy figure below!

I don't find them to be too terribly loose, but they could definitely be tighter. I think the problem is the plastic they are using. Most figures this scale are made of a dense rubbery plastic that creates a natural friction in the joints. These are made of a hard shiny rigid plastic that can end up being very loose (and I imagine will get more and more loose with movement). My movie rangers were decent, but some of my other Legacy Rangers have been really tricky to stand up.
